IMPROVEM ENT IN TOBACCO-PIPES.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, THOMAS CEorL' AN- DREW'S,of Leverington, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tobacco-Pipes; andI do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the same, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

My invention consists of a detachable and perforated holder for thetobacco, the said holder being adapted to and arranged within the bowlin the manner described hereinafter, so that both holder and bowl can bereadily cleansed.

In order to enable others to make my invention, I will now proceed todescribe its construction and operation.

On reference to the accompanying drawings, whichform a part of thisspecification, Figure 1 is a sectional view of my improved tobacco-pipe;Fig. 2, adetached sectional view of the inner casing or tobacco holder,and Fig. 3 a plan view of the same.

Similar letters refer to similar parts througlr out the several views.

The bowl A of my improved tobacco-pipe may be made of clay, of wood, orof any of the different materials heretofore employed for the purpose. Bis the stem of the pipe, fitting into an opening in aproj ection,cmvhich forms a part of the bowl. 0 is the tobaccoholder, fitting snuglyinto, but so as to be readily removed from, the interior of the bowl,the bottom of the holder being perforated, and being at such a distancefrom the bottom of the bowl as to form in the latter the chamber I),with which the interior of the stem 13 communicates. The upper edge ofthe holder '0 is provided with a flange, e, which, fitting snugly into arecess in the upper edge of the bowl, serves to. maintain the holder inits proper vertical position. The tobacco is deposited in the holder C,the perforations of which are suffieientl y small to prevent any but thesmallest particles to pass into the chamber 1), but suificiently largeto allow for the free passage of the smoke to thestem and for the escapeof the oil 4 of tobacco into the said chamber 1). The stem B is insertedinto the bowl at such a point between the bottom of the perforatedholder'and the bottom of the bowl that the saliva which accumulates inthe stem cannot gain access to the tobacco and in terferc, as inordinary pipes, with the uninterrupted passage of smoke through thetube, but must make its way into the chamber 1). It will be evident thatthe smoke drawn through the tube must be mild, pleasant, andunaccompanied with the oil of tobacco, the nauseous and deleteriousnature of which is well. known. On detaching the holder from the bowlall ashes and partly-consumed tobacco may be readily removed by washingor otherwise from the holder, and the oil of tobacco and saliva from thechamber 1).

I wish it to be understood that I do not desire to claim, broadly, aperforated plate in the bowl of the pipe for supporting the tobacco, nordo I claim, broadly, so constructing the bowl of the pipe as to renderone portion detachable from the other; but

I limit my claim to and desire to secure Let ters Patent for- Thetobacco-holder C, with its perforated base, and the flange c, with itsequivalent, when applied to the bowl of a pipe and scrv ing as adetachable lining for the same, as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
